Under windows, diff usually works like windiff - you see

git-gui, however gives me a diff where I see a single

I find the single stream display really obscure, ugly,
and confusing.
So if I had a file that used to be
        first
        error
        anoth
        more
        again
And it was changed to
        first
        anoth
        new
        again
Then the linux tools I have now would display the
changes as
         first
        -error
         anoth
        -more
        +new
         again
While the windows tools I am used to would display it as
two streams side by side
         first   first
        -error
         anoth   anoth
        -more   +new
         again   again
but with color highlighting instead of + and -
Can I get file changes recorded in git to display the
way they do in windows?
